JCK Natures Blue Clouds Series VG-10 Tsuchime Damascus Petty 135mm & Santoku 180mm (BCD 2Pcs Set)

Our “JCK Natures” house brand knives have proven to be some of JCK’s most popular knives. Each one of them has a unique appearance, fine characteristics and offers great value for money. Our JCK Natures Knives are a fusion of the craftsman’s special artistic techniques and the magnificent scenery of almighty nature.
At the beginning of the year 2020, these JCK Natures 青雲 “Blue Clouds VG-10 Tsuchime Damascus” knives have finally been finished, and we are very excited to introduce and offer these new products to you.
The “Blue Clouds” knives have an impressive mirror polished blade with a Tsuchime Hammered Texture and total of 33 beautiful Damascus layers. The rust-resistant VG-10 High Carbon Stainless Steel blade core is clad with many layers of beautiful Damascus. Heat treated to HRc. 60-61, the double bevel edged blade has a 50/50 symmetrical grind.

The Polished, Vivid Blue Pakka Wood Handle Scales beautifully match the mirror polished VG-10 Tsuchime Damascus blade and the knives have an excellent overall level of fit & finish and quality. The handle material is strong, resists water and resists shrinkage. The combination of the stylish blade and attractive blue handle reminded me of a beautiful, expansive sky and clouds, hence the name “Blue Clouds” 青雲.

These knives feature a full-tang construction, a forged stainless steel bolster and stainless steel handle rivets / pins.

We especially recommend our JCK Natures “Blue Clouds” Knives to customers who are considering buying their first Japanese knife and want to own a moderately priced, high quality, practical, attractive and very fashionable knife.

This is the versatile and special knife set (including the Petty 135mm and Santoku 180mm), which we can highly recommend them as special gift for your special person and for serious home chefs.

A mainstay of professional Western kitchens, the Petty knife is a small general-purpose knife used for peeling, shaping, and slicing fruits and vegetables, chopping herbs, and making garnishes. The compact size and relatively narrow blade of the Petty knife mean that it is very nimble and controllable, thus it is ideal for making precise cuts.

The tall blade and rounded nose / tip of the Santoku make it a versatile knife that is well suited to cutting meat, fish, or vegetables; Hence it’s name, which literally means “Three-purpose”. The Santoku is often recommended as a multi-purpose kitchen knife.

About Left Handed Version

This knife comes with 50/50 double bevel edge geometry for both right and left handed use.

However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50/50 without problems.
